Romantic Foodie

Decided it was time that we took some time out of our busy lives to go out and have a nice, romantic dinner. After much research (Di being the picky eater that he is) we both settled on La Bohème. It's a cute little French restaurant in West Hollywood off of Santa Monica Blvd. We made our reservation on Opentable through Yelp for 6:00 pm the past Saturday. It's a good thing they have a 15 minute grace period seeing as LA traffic is pretty much terrible! But we managed to get there with two minutes to spare. :) They valet there for $5.00 so no need to find parking~

The place is simply gorgeous with deep dark red tones, beautiful chandeliers hanging from the ceiling, and glass mirrors draping the walls. We sat up stairs, facing the center and this place was just so magical in itself. Gorgeous ambiance that makes you feel FANCY. :)

We had the Herbed Fries for an appetizer and my god, it was delicious- it was definitely worth mentioning. It's light, crispy and it didn't feel like those greasy, oil-drenched fast food ones.

Had us a few cocktails, the Maribel and Golden Mojito for dinner. Golden Mojito, very good: bubbly, minty and citrusy.

I ordered the Rich Mushroom Risotto for dinner. It's a very good for vegetarian eaters. :) Thick slices of mushroom and sauce with long grain rice.

And Di ordered the Herbed Steak Hanger. This one was... Beyond what I can say. The meat was tender with a vinaigrette like sauce that complemented the meat very well. The mashed potatoes, ohhhh! So soft and creamy and dericious! I think it was one of the best of the night next to the steak.

Lastly, dessert: Vanilla Bean Creme Brulee!

One of the most romantic dinners I've been to, next time I really want to try and get a seat outside. It's equally beautiful with small lights surrounding the sky and plants and candlelit tables. All guys should take their girls for dinner here, definitely won't be disappointed. ^__^ Until next time!

Ciao!
